초록

본 연구는 소비자가 정보탐색과 구매단계에서 온 오프라인 채널을 이동하는 유형을 온온(온라인 탐색 ${\rightarrow}$ 온라인 구매), 오프오프(오프라인 탐색 ${\rightarrow}$ 오프라인 구매), 온오프(온라인 탐색 ${\rightarrow}$ 오프라인 구매), 오프온(오프라인 탐색 ${\rightarrow}$ 온라인 구매), 온오프온(온라인 탐색 ${\rightarrow}$ 오프라인 탐색 ${\rightarrow}$ 온라인 구매)으로 분류하고, 유형의 결정요인을 파악하기 위하여 총 1,040명 소비자를 대상으로 온라인 설문조사를 수행하였다. 분석 결과, 소비자의 채널이동 유형을 결정하는 주요 요인은 가격지향성, 구매가격 등 가격 변수와 편의지향성과 위험회피지향성 등의 소비성향 변수, 그리고 온 오프라인 채널 친숙도 변수로 나타났다. 온 오프라인 채널을 이동하는 크로스채널 소비자는 실물확인과 안전한 구매를 위하여 채널이동의 번거로움을 감수하는 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구는 온 오프라인 채널을 운영하는 기업담당자에게 유용한 자료를 제시하고, 채널이동과 관련된 소비자의사결정과정에 대한 이론적 시사점을 제안하였다.

This study illustrates factors that determine consumer types based on ways in which they alternate between online and offline channels for searching and eventually buying their desired products. This study conducted an online survey targeting 1,040 consumers. As per the study, consumer types fall into five groups: 1) on-on type(online search${\rightarrow}$online buying), 2) off-off type(offline search${\rightarrow}$offline buying), 3) on-off type(online search${\rightarrow}$offline buying), 4) off-on type(offline search${\rightarrow}$online buying), and, 5) on-off-on type(online search${\rightarrow}$ offline search${\rightarrow}$nline buying). The primary factors that determine how the different consumer types switch between online and offline channels are price orientation, convenience orientation,, risk-aversion orientation, and channel familiarity. Although they feel cross-channel shopping can be cumbersome, the findings show that cross-channel consumers would gladly switch channels to buy cheaper and proven products. The findings of this study will be useful for businesses that have both online and offline channels and point out the theoretical aspects of the decision-making process as consumers switch between channels.
